240W Speaker!

LMAO *choke* *wheeze* /me wipes tears from eyes

Ok, we just got some "entry level" speakers to test here at work!

The first thing I noticed while looking at the box was a "240W" Sticker, amazed I looked closer...

What I found was that the "240W" sticker was stuck over another "160W" sticker!!! :woot:

So, cool, I thought.. I'd try them out.. Even though they look terrible and very crappy.

Sound quality? = -4.8 out of 10. Tinny / no base (forget about treble) speakers that buzz very badly! :rofl:

Here's the pics!

Gotta love PMPO!!!1

Seems that most cheap A$$ speakers / stereo systems made in Asia say PMPO and not RMS..

I guess 850W PMPO sounds better than 30W RMS.. and therefore they sell because gullible people think..

" Bigger number, must be better "

ROTFL

God Bless the fool that patented PMPO.

BTW the Real wattage (RMS) of these cheap and very nasty speakers is 0.5W

But how much cooler does 240W sound?! ROTFL

0.5w? lmao....i am from asia, never knew those existed :woot:

Please explain PMPO and RMS! Thanks and were the speakers actually 240w or did they put the 240w sticker over the old one to save money on boxes?

RMS:

An RMS power value is referred to as the real music power output of a speaker. It is a true indication of the output power of a given speaker across it's range of pickup frequencies.

PMPO :

Peak Music Power Output, refers to the maximum amount of power output that the speaker can produce at it's peak. A PMPO rating is not necessarily indicative of the performance of a speaker throughout a wide frequency range.

As a general rule, the higher the true RMS rating of a speaker, the higher it's actual power or volume output.

thanks! so when we buy speakers in the US the watt rating on the box is RMS?

Lol. I'd better be careful buying electronics next time :)

Speakers don't have watts. Amplifiers have watts. Speakers handle watts. If speakers suck, watts have nothing to do with it. Don't believe me, sell audio one day. I could make the crappiest speak you've ever heard that could handle 350 watts from an amp, it would still suck because I don't know how to make a good sounding speaker. :D

If you buy a speaker because it says it handles high wattage, you got taken by salespeople. End of story.
